Dear Terezinha,

We are living through one of the greatest upheavals of life on Earth.
From endless wars and mass suffering, to climate breakdown and runaway AI, our world is facing multiple, overlapping crises, in what's often called the Polycrisis.
But while governments slash humanitarian aid and launch new wars, millions of us are resisting -- creating a new path for humanity. Days ago, 8 million people in the US and around the world took to the streets in one of the largest protest movements in history. The truth is, we are not powerless. Every day, Avaaz members like you are proving it -- through small acts of fierce compassion that ripple across the world. Together, we are:
- Funding the only food aid for thousands of families in parts of Darfur
- Fighting the world's worst oil pipeline in court
- Reviving farmlands and water wells in Gaza
- Standing with Indigenous communities to defend millions of acres of the Amazon rainforest
It seems like you care about this work. Now can you take the next step to become a regular donor?
To be direct, I'm asking you to help fund the protests, investigations, and all the organising and advocacy that we believe could change the world in 2026. We cannot do this work without people like you.

We aren't just resisting the worst -- together, we're building something better. Because real hope and lasting change don't trickle down from the top. They rise from the grassroots.
That's why Avaaz refuses to take a single cent from governments, corporations, or billionaires. No one pulls our strings, and no one tells us which lives are ‘too political' to save. But that means we are completely reliant on our members for everything we do. Only 0.5% of people who get our emails are regular donors -- imagine what we could do if we doubled that number! If we raise enough from this email, we could:
- Help save lives in Sudan by scaling up our support to community kitchens and local aid groups, pushing to break the communications blackout, and exposing the war's major backers;
- Push to end Israel's genocide in Gaza and the occupation of Palestine, campaigning for freedom and equal rights -- and ensuring Palestinians have a voice in their collective future;
- Support grassroots movements fighting for democracy and human rights ahead of major elections this year, in Germany, Brazil, and beyond;
- Supercharge rapid response campaigns that save lives and protect human rights, defend the living Earth, and put us on the path to a thriving future.
Tomorrow isn't written in stone, it's written by those who show up. If you have ever thought about becoming an Avaaz sustainer, now is the time. Please join us:

The strength of our movement comes from millions of people uniting when it matters most -- and together, we've achieved extraordinary things. The stories below are just a glimpse of what donations from Avaaz members made possible in the last 6 months. Every action you took fuelled something bigger than any of us alone.
With deep hope and fierce determination,
Kaitlin, Mike, Marigona, Adela, Bert, Nell and the whole team at Avaaz
In the last 6 months, here are a few things Avaaz members made possible:

We provided more humanitarian aid to families in Sudan than many major governments. Our local partners say support from Avaaz members averted total famine in parts of Darfur, where local volunteers are cooking thousands of hot meals for people escaping the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth.
We saved a kid's football pitch at the Aida refugee camp in Palestine! After 350,000 of us signed the petition and joined the #SaveAidasPitchChallenge on social media, the world's top football federations intervened and suspended the planned demolition by Israel -- giving more than 250 children a place to play.
We helped to protect 2 million hectares of the Amazon rainforest -- nearly the size of Belgium! After months of public pressure, advocacy, and stunts supported by Avaaz members, Indigenous Peoples from 14 territories were finally granted land rights by the Brazilian government late last year.
We are keeping the world's attention on Gaza's children. On the second anniversary of 5-year-old Hind Rajab's killing by the Israeli military, hundreds of Avaaz members stood alongside her mother in Spain and unfurled this 1,000m² portrait -- sending a clear message to lawmakers: Do not abandon Gaza's children.
PS. This might be your first donation to our movement ever. But what a first donation! Did you know that Avaaz relies entirely on small donations from members like you? That's why we're fully independent, nimble and effective. Join the over 1 million people who've donated to make Avaaz a real force for good in the world.
